The passage of HB 31 by the House was an indication of democracy at work – a case of private property rights versus corporate interests. This bill prohibits the use of eminent domain by developers of hazardous natural gas liquids pipelines.

I’m told that Google Glass when viewing a person’s face scans the person. It connects to any database on the person and logs the data. That makes the rumor of license plate auto scanners on Veterans Parkway a less violation of privacy, doesn’t it? The police state/Babylon rising grows.
A quote by Patrick Henry at the Virginia ratification convention of June 5, 1788 seems once to remember.
